Possibly The Velvet Underground ' Waiting for the Man' , later contenders would be Lou Reed 'Walk on the Wild Side' , or even Bowie 'Panic In Detroit' from 'Aladdin Sane' .

1976. Deaf School "Taxi" is high on my list for first or at least early New Wave music. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgA59q-TzCM
